Les Joutes Oratoires - French debating

Friday 26th February saw the final of Les Joutes Oratoires, the L6 French Debating Competition organised by our French assistant Nicolas Reynard.

All 36 members of the L6 who study French took part in the competition and they are to be congratulated on an extremely high level of argument and language.

The final was fiercely fought between Ben Poster and Anthony Meyer who proposed the motion “Les nouvelles technologies rendront inutile l’apprentissage des langues étrangères” and the opposition team Joel Kariel and Raphael Torrance. Each team produced a very impressive performance. The judges, The Headmaster and Dr Koestlé-Cate, finally awarded the debate to Joel and Raph. We are looking forward to seeing our teams in action against other schools from North London in the summer term.
